Chapter 458

"Junior Brother Yuanshi, Junior Brother Tongtian, stop quickly!"

"Otherwise, the Primordial World will be destroyed by you!"

Although he hadn't seized the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array or killed Hongxuan, Laozi felt quite regretful.

But the most urgent task was to stop the Saint battle.

Previously, with the protection of the sword array, the Saints' attacks could not reach the Primordial World.

Now, the sword array was gone.

A few slightly stronger attacks would inevitably destroy the entire world.

As the head of the six Saints, he naturally had to prevent everything from happening.

Otherwise, if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to blame him, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

Even if the ones taking action were Yuanshi and Tongtian, Laozi's culpability would not be small.

In order to avoid punishment, some things that had to be done had to be done!

"Hm?"

Yuanshi and Tongtian were also startled awake.

Looking at the mess all around, and then thinking of the terrifying Dao Ancestor Hongjun, their hearts couldn't help but turn cold.

They stopped immediately.

However, even so,

Yuanshi and Tongtian still looked at each other with displeasure.

Their eyes were full of hatred.

Jin Ling was one of the disciples Tongtian valued most, and now she had even reached the quasi-saint realm.

Yet, she had died in Yuanshi's sneak attack.

Truly hateful.

Of course,

Yuanshi wasn't much better off.

Tongtian's previous wave of sword qi sweeping had caused countless Chan Sect members to die on the spot.

Especially among the second-generation disciples, Dao Xing Tianzun and Qing Xu Dao De Zhen Jun were killed on the spot by the sword qi and placed on the list.

As for Guang Chengzi, he had been thrown out of the sword array by Hongxuan earlier, allowing him to escape a disaster.

And Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding True Person, Huang Long True Person, and Ling Bao Da Fa Shi had escaped the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array a step earlier than Yun Zhongzi.

They could be considered lucky.

As for Tai Yi True Person, Pu Xian True Person, and Wen Shu Guang Fa Tian Zun, they had long since been placed on the list.

Plus, Ran Deng, Ci Hang, and Ju Liu Sun had been converted by the West.

Now it seemed the losses of the Chan Sect exceeded Yuanshi Tianzun's expectations.

After all the maneuvering, not only had the situation of the Chan Sect not improved, but it had become even worse.

Although the Jie Sect had also suffered significant losses,

their base was too large, and the number of survivors was far beyond imagination.

Of course,

the most hateful thing was that only one of the Jie Sect's direct disciples, Holy Mother Jin Ling, had died.

Why hadn't they all died?

And that damn Hongxuan had actually sneak-attacked him.

Making him lose all face.

This grudge must be avenged.

Did he really think that advancing to Sub-Saint meant he was invincible?

Just wait, next time, he would absolutely send this damn Hongxuan to the Investiture of the Gods as well.

Not just Hongxuan, but even Duo Bao Dao Ren, Wudang, and Gui Ling—not one could be spared.

Unfortunately,

there was still Yunxiao, who was currently staying in the Underworld under the protection of Houtu, which was quite troublesome.

However, as long as the other direct disciples were wiped out, leaving one Yunxiao wouldn't be of much use.

Yuanshi Tianzun's evil thoughts rose up at this moment.

His gaze toward Tongtian was full of malice.

"Tongtian, this time you were a cut above, but in the next final battle, I will not hold back!"

"Hmph, Yuanshi, I will settle the grudge of Jin Ling with you when the time comes!"

Tongtian had just calculated.

In this battle, the Jie Sect had lost nearly half of its disciples.

Tongtian felt extremely heartbroken just looking at it.

At the same time, he hated Laozi and Yuanshi to the bone.

Of the remaining half, much of it was thanks to Hongxuan's protection.

Otherwise, there might have been half as many again.

Laozi and Yuanshi were too ruthless.

They were absolutely aiming to wipe out the Jie Sect's orthodoxy.

It seemed he had thought too highly of them before.

Tongtian scanned the surroundings and sighed.

With a wave of his right hand,

he took the remaining Jie Sect disciples and returned to Jin Ao Island.

He didn't even spare a glance for Laozi and Yuanshi at the end.

Yuanshi snorted coldly.

He looked deeply at Laozi, his expression cold to the extreme.

He didn't have a good look for him either.

He took Guang Chengzi and the remaining Chan Sect disciples and returned to Mount Kunlun.

Previously, in the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, Laozi had harbored no good intentions at all.

From beginning to end, he had been continuously weakening the strength of both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

Even when he clearly had the opportunity to save more of the Twelve Jin Xian, he never took action.

He had even continuously deepened the hatred between the Chan and Jie Sects.

By the end, his intentions had become blatant.

It seemed he was bullying him, Yuanshi, because he couldn't do without Laozi!

Given Yuanshi's arrogance, the fact that he hadn't immediately turned into an enemy just now was already a great exercise in restraint.

Compared to Tongtian, he would temporarily endure Laozi for now.

After dealing with Tongtian's Jie Sect in the future, he would come back to settle with Laozi and the Ren Sect.

Laozi was also gnashing his teeth in hatred at his two junior brothers for being so disrespectful to him as their elder brother.

But he didn't show it on his face at all.

However, he had completely recorded this matter in his heart.

He glanced at Xuandu, who was still healing in the distance, and felt somewhat displeased.

Even after bestowing the merit treasure for protection, he hadn't been able to take a single move from Hongxuan and had been heavily wounded.

Even, if not for Hongxuan showing mercy,

he might not have been able to save Xuandu in time.

Even Laozi had to admit that Hongxuan was indeed a cut above the second-generation disciples.

This variable must be eliminated as soon as possible. ===== CHAPTER 459 =====
